THE DECISION TO DROP
Let us help you with your New Mexico history course requirement. Your
students will get an introduction to critical problem solving by role
play in this program. Students will work through historical issues surrounding
the decision to drop the atomic bomb and make group decisions based
on historical facts. Students will also weigh the pros and cons of the
decision to drop based on scientific facts and will advise those who
will make the decision. Primary source material will be used for this
program. NM Standards: Social Studies, Science, and Language Arts (Grades 8-12)

Our Classroom Performance System is an interactive learning environment where
the teacher sets up a lesson in the CPS software, hooks a data projector
to the computer, and students participate in the lesson through the use
of remote controlled keypads. This is an interactive way to assess your

provide us with a CPS compatible test before your trip, or choose from
one of our subject and grade appropriate standardized exams which can
be emailed and imported directly into most digital grade book programs.Allow an extra 30 minutes for your visit.
